My very first idea was to create a PhotoBook full of anaglyphs - anaglyphs are simply two images taken from little different angles (right eye angle and left eye angle) and merged together to create 3d image which we can then view through BLUE and RED glasses (those used some time ago in cinemas to view 3d movies).
As my main interest are industrial landscapes of Wales I was planning to create book about one of my favourite places (i.e. Boys' Village, Trefil Quarry, Clydach Gorge, Sirhowy Ironworks or Hetty Pit).
After group chat with other students and Gareth they've came to conclusion that it would be too simply for FMP. I do not quite agree with that as it's taking a lot of time to create anaglyphs (first taking photos, then editing them) and it would take even more creating a book (book design + writting text + researching etc.) But I liked Gareth's idea of creating interactive book full of historical facts, paper mechanisms and little windows, etc.
So I started researching it and found out that:

and that:

And I do love that! it probably took him months and months to design that and construct all mechanism, but I've decided to go that way and try to create something simillar but less complicated (due to time limits).
For very begining I've started researching books re: paper pop outs, printing, etc.
I bought few to start excercising and practicing.
Paper Pop Up by Dorothy Wood
Pop-Up Design and Paper Mechanics by Duncan Birmingham
Paper Engineering and Pop-Ups For Dummies (For Dummies (Lifestyles Paperback)) by Rob Ives
It seemed to hard for me as I never had 3d vision (geometry, paper folding and stuff) so I've decided to buy some children books to see how does it works.
This helped me to uderstand the basics and to get some nice ideas of printing techniques, how to construct some mechanisms, and how to make all of that working.
